Fortnight

Fortnight, meaning two weeks describes a love affair, which the narrator claims is “ruining [her] life”. The song seemingly follows two neighbors who are in love with one another and yet married to different people. The narrator proceeds to sing of her longing for her forbidden and lost love, only for her to be left in heartbreak as her neighbor, the man she loved, goes to Florida in a car he won. Florida opens The Tortured Poets Department and Swift thinks it “exhibits a lot of the common themes that run throughout the album”. The song is the only one in the album to have a music video so far, in which many easter eggs and symbols are hidden.
